So, I have to vent!!! Watching a news program and of course Robin Williams suicide is all the program is talking about. Well the host of the program says something about down in the dumps. Everyone, PLEASE, Depression IS NOT, NOT, NOT, Down in the dumps. Depression is Not like feeling sad because you didnt get that raise, you didnt get the job you want, your pet died, your mom died, your house burned down, your spouse cheated on you. Depression IS a condition that causes you to not get joy, happiness, or a sense of any kind of fulfilment in ANYTHING, in your life. Robin Williams had a disease, one that at this point is incurable. There are many of us that suffer from the same thing, most of us do so with very few that truly understand, all of us suffer it alone, because it is so subjective, and personal. Most of us keep it hidden from the world because we dont want to hear that we are just Down in the Dumps, or Just be thankful for all that you have, or the worst of all Just snap out of it. We are thankful, and dont want to take for granted all the wonderful things we have or the wonderful people around us. We want to just snap out of it, we wish we could just not feel the senseless pain and anguish we feel inside that seems to have no reason for it. We are quite aware of how it affects others and often hide as to not burden them. Unfortunately that is often when we need someone the most. So PLEASE, if you dont suffer from it, do you best not to judge those that do. Its a flu of the heart, for some it comes and it goes. For others it is more akin to missing a limb, something that is always there. And for some, the forever fight becomes to much, and it just cant be done any more. Robin, I hope your soul has found the peace it seeks.
